Coastal Carolina

May be wrong, but I think APP could be nearly a 3 TD favorite in Boone over Coastal. Still need to focus.

APP beat UNC because of toughness by a veteran group. They knew how to win as UNC hasn't a clue.

Nice clock management by Drink, something Satt didn't do well, imo.

Amen. Drink was better with clock management than Satt for sure. If we had swapped Roof for Brown and not had cramp issues we could have won by 20.

Coastal is a better team. We should win but we definitely need a big game. I hope the team forgets the UNC win as of this afternoon. CCU has to be focus.

Brown was not an option so stop with the false narratives. He was in the first plane to Louisville with Ponce and Satt.

I know that. I'm just saying that I know with Brown's defense we would have held them under 24 for sure. I trust his defensive philosophy as much as Clemson trusts their guy. I know he was not an option. I was fine with losing Ponce for sure. I saw a lot more of how we ran things last year on Saturday and I firmly believe the rumors about Gaspo calling the plays or at least adjusting the calls by Roof.

Please stop inserting opinion for fact.

Legit question. Why are you the way you are? Gas was not calling the plays. I agree with Happ. You should stop presenting opinions as fact.

Brown earned our trust. The whispers are getting louder out of Boone that Roof did not call the game or that there was at least input from others. If Roof indeed did call the plays we did exactly what many of us were saying we should do prior to the game anyway. We turned out to be right about the fact what we were doing was not working. We starting letting them have short plays and took away the big play for the most part. That's exactly what the beef was the prior two weeks. Calling a game is almost like a writing style. You can see strategy in coaches and there were definitely others who had input, if not outright ability to override Roof.

Something was definitely up and things were not the same. The game was called completely different from the first two weeks either with someone else having input or Roof and Drink had a talk. Just glad it was and we won. We keep the same general strategy on defense the rest of the season and we will go 1-0 every week.

And that is a fair and astute observation. Just stop including supposition into your opinion as if it is true. I have never seen where you have been able to provide tangible proof to your assertion. You are a trolls wet dream. You run with rumors and whispers as if you have the credibility or sources that have to be legit. You stated that You believed Gas called the plays based off of rumors and then backpedaled when you were challenged. I can tell you that Gas did not call the plays. Why would Drink take away play calling from the guy that he has a relationship with and give it too a guy that he barely knows after three weeks? Come on man!

[goapps93]

Of course others had input. That's why there's a defensive STAFF. Roof is coordinator not a dictator.

[Yosef10]

Some of y’all make this place so damn insufferable.

[T-Dog]

App opened up as an 18.5 point favorite and the line quickly went down to 16.5. O/U went from 58 to 59.5 as well.

[Stonewall]

It’s not that hard to see that we set up game three with games one and two. And it worked.

[MDaniels84]

Hoping like hell that we bring the noise as a fanbase on Saturday. I know that it is Family Day (hence the sellout) but let's treat this more like a playoff game and less like family day.

That’s a good way to put it. It is like a playoff game. This Saturday will be packed! Coastal is the real deal this year.

I expect to win, however, Coastal is pretty good and would not be shocked to take an L. We only beat them by 16 last year and 8 the year before. If they are much improved and they already play us tight, our guys need to bring it or we lose.

I expect we may have a certain player available this week who didn’t play when we beat them by “only” 16 last year.

Please don't remind me that game ever happened. Between the sun/shadow issues and backup QBs that game was a tough watch.

I agree and have a hard time fathoming them stopping our offense, but still, they beat Kansas which is a team on par with UNC. Kansas crushed BC and barely lost to a W.Virginia team that handled NC State.

Thank you for pointing out what should be considered a REALLY big point. Personally I could care less that the line dropped or if it goes up. Whatever. If we bring the same level of intensity we win easily. We have played one third of the season and won each game. The one game at a time and going 1-0 each week is obviously cliche but it is true. No games off mentality is the the approach to take.

I remember that one pass where our receiver was looking back directly into the low setting sun and the ball bounced off his helmet right into a Coastal player's hands for a pick 6. Seemed like it took a couple of misfires before Satt realized the sun was a problem for the receivers from that side...

[mtoddsolomon]

I think Coastal is going to bring it, but I think as long as we don't let this latest W affect our mental state, we should be good. Passing looked great Saturday, hoping we can key up this run game on coastal.

[NavyApp]

Drink seems adamant about one week at a time; yes I know it's coach speak but if you haven't seen the post game presser I encourage you to do so. You can see in him that he knows he has the chance to do something special with this team. I believe he is focused and fully invested in beating Coastal this week.

That being said Coastal is not going to roll over; they will be coming for us. Excited to see how we respond to such an emotional game this past week.
